Reviews

"Written by an experienced and gifted clinician who has
dedicated her professional life to treating those with dissociative
disorders, this ambitious volume skillfully clarifies the complex
relationship between mindfulness and dissociation. Full of
fascinating anecdotes, illustrations, allegories and therapeutic
exercises, Dissociation, Mindfulness, and Creative
Meditations brings together brain, body, and treatment in a way
that is accessible and rewarding to the reader-a brilliant
contribution to the field of traumatology and a must read for
trauma therapists and their clients." Pat Ogden, PhD, founder,
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute "Christine Forner has crafted
a book that is highly practical, theoretically grounded and
innovative despite its theoretical and technical sophistication.
Dissociation, Mindfulness, and Creative Meditations
integrates many aspects of mindfulness, neurobiology, dissociation
theory, and meditation practices in simple language, using apt
metaphors and illustrative examples. Clinicians, researchers and
educators will all find treasures in this book." Martin J. Dorahy,
